Tray loading systems

Creation of product batches with or without tray loading, using pick and place devices or robots.

For example (see drawing below), three products can be stacked continuously (brown, blue, yellow). Depending on size of product and level of complexity, the system can handle up to 120 rows per minute. Products are picked using either claws or aspiration and can be loaded onto trays or directly into packaging machines.

When products arrive out of alignment, the best solution is an automated system of prehension linked to a viewing system in order to locate the position and orientation of each product on a continual basis. The system will then pick and place in tracking mode to rectify the passage.
